2 HOW THE CAMP CARD SALE WORKS: The Camp Card is designed to help units fund their way to 2016 Camp programs This is a Risk Free product sales fundraiser where all Scouts can earn their way to Camp, or other activities, to support their unit program or for supply needs Each Camp Card will sell for only $5.00 to the general public and has multiple food, service, and entertainment discounts for the end customer to use throughout the year The participating unit will keep up to 50% commission of the sales for each Camp Card sold Commissions from the sales are encouraged to be applied toward directly sending youth to Summer Camp programs, but they may be used as the unit committee sees fit We re selling camp not just a discount card! Ensure your families understand that they are selling character, they are selling a better community, and they are selling the benefits of Scouting summer camp, and not just selling discount cards. Emphasize that each card sold helps a Scout go to camp. The reason our sale will be successful is that people want to support Scouting. 2
